Hard to miss, folks! If you have information you may email Kevin at: cyclonequickie@aol.com or myself: scootermcrad@yahoo.com.
Just looking for the sign to be returned. Annonymous is fine. Just want information leading to its return. PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT! Pretty hard to miss an 18-foot sign, but people need to know it's missing first! Post it on your blogger pages, post it on your websites, send emails to your friends, whatever it takes! Your help is appreciated!
Johnie's Broiler is now Bob's Broiler and is located at 7447 Firestone Blvd. Downey, California, 90241. (562) 927-3383
Any help would be appreciated by all that have helped bring back this national landmark!
** NOTE! Please read Kevin's comments in the comment section below this post for more details. **
Thanks!
Just want to thank ScooterMcRad here and add a little something here. There were 2 signs that said JOHNIE'S. One was on the east side of the building, and the other was on the west, The contractor stored one onsite in a container that we rented to house all of the historical elements that could be saved from the building.
ReplyDeletethe other had a large beehive, It went over to SIMINGTON SIGNS on Old River School Road/Firestone, Just a stones throw away from the Broiler.
We were told that someone cut the sign companies owners locks and took the sign and stole a few thou worth of tools, Funny thing is that the 13 foot Fat Boy plexi's and the roatating BIG BOY himself wasn't taken??? The JOHNIE'S sign was 18' in length and about 4 in height. It had animated incandesent bulb inside the letters and neon tube on the perimeter. It needed some work but was the better of the 2.
Let us know if ya see it advertised.
Thanks Scooter and Cyclone K.
Thanks Kevin!
